In my opinion, they play her voice up way too much. She needs a better band and they need to focus more on the music and less on her voiceObadiah wrote:is it just me or does amy lee from evanescence kick butt...she can write, she can sing and she rocks out...i found this online...the cool thing about it is she sounds better live than she does on the cd....discuss!
my parents/gardians were motown fanatics....i grew up listening to the temptations, dramatics, and stuff like that till i was a teen...then i swiched to bel biv devoe, mint condition, rif, jodici, boyz 2 men, heavy d, krs one, rakim, and peeps of the likes...feyd wrote:You didn't know who U2 was.. well that can certainly date yourself.. youngster.
when i moved here people litteraly thought i lived under a rock they'd ask me about led zeplin, good charlotte, guns and roses, AFI and bans like that...and i have a huge blank stare on my face because i had never "gotten the led out" before...then i ask them about Wu-tang and they say..."dude...whats that a chinese resturaunt?"

The problem is not knowing who U2 is (at least in a basic sense) is like not knowing who Frank Sinatra is, or Prince, or Madonna, or even Oprah.. it's on a massive scale.
The groups you've listed are for the most part on the minor scale. Although not knowing Led Zeplin can easily be at the same scale.

as much as a Amy Lee fan i am ive got to say they defenately do play her voice up alot...and without the band i doubt as well she be as big as she is....im honestly a fan of evanescence because everyone in that group kicks serious ass at what they do...the drummer is awsome...the lead, electric and bass guitarist-outstanding....but when amy lee starts playing their complete its like Voltron...five peices fusing creating something devastatingThe Ninja Space Goat wrote:In my opinion, they play her voice up way too much.

you'd have to be dead not to know who frank sinatra is or the "ratpack"...the best dancer/singer of his time...i also know a great deal of singers and dancers (mostly because of old movies) of that time....dorris day, jerry lewis, dean martin, shirley temple,danny kay...my brain is giving me a hemmorage trying to place the names with faces...lol...sammy davis jr...i gotta stop there for now i think i just broke somethingfeyd wrote:The problem is not knowing who U2 is (at least in a basic sense) is like not knowing who Frank Sinatra is, or Prince, or Madonna, or even Oprah.. it's on a massive scale.

the majority of people on this board's musical tastes are so far off from mine... my favorite bands:
Tool
Pink Floyd
Porcupine Tree
Led Zeppelin
A Perfect Circle
Alice in Chains
SoundGarden
etc.
I find that a lot of folks around here are into techno/electronica which I like, but definitely not what I usually listen to... unless under the influence of something.

My Chemical Romance is listed as Emo in several lists I've seen.
